The author suggests that a major weakness of established usages is that they fail to take serious account of the local, cultural context of ethnic identity. Drawing on case studies, he shows the everyday social construction of national identity.

Castelos a Bombordo" inclui alguns dos textos produzidos no âmbito dos projectos de investigação financiados pela FCT "Castelos a Bombordo: Práticas de monumentalização do passado e discursos de cooperação cultural entre Portugal e os países árabes e islâmicos" e "Castelos a Bombordo II. Práticas e Retóricas da Monumentalização do Passado Português, Cooperação Cultural e Turismo em contextos africanos". Esses projectos de investigação centraram-se primeiro nas rotas que ligam historicamente Portugal a alguns países árabes e islâmicos, balizadas por práticas de cooperação patrimoniais contemporâneas (Marrocos, Mauritânia) e alargaram-se, depois, a outros países africanos (Senegal, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, Moçambique) investindo na análise de memórias, nostalgias e outros recursos patrimoniais, e às implicações dos regimes do turismo que a estes, muitas vezes, estão associados.Os seus objectivos incluíam também a desmontagem da retórica subjacente aos programas de cooperação contemporâneos e sua lógica de monumentalização, a decomposição estratigráfica do seu acervo constituinte e o acompanhamento dos discursos e práticas identitárias locais paralelos. À escala local, aquela que acabou por se privilegiar, o objetivo foi o de entender a gestão quotidiana dos novos regimes do património e do turismo e o modo como ela é determinada por - e afeta - conformações culturais e normas e categorizações sociais locais prévias.

"Despite a quarter-century of constructivist theorizing in the social sciences and humanities, ethnic groups continue to be conceived as entities and cast as actors. Journalists, policymakers, and researchers routinely frame accounts of ethnic, racial, and national conflict as the struggles of internally homogeneous, externally bounded ethnic groups, races, and nations. In doing so, they unwittingly adopt the language of participants in such struggles, and contribute to the reification of ethnic groups. In this timely and provocative volume, Rogers Brubaker-well known for his work on immigration, citizenship, and nationalism-challenges this pervasive and commonsense "groupism." But he does not simply revert to standard constructivist tropes about the fluidity and multiplicity of identity. Once a bracing challenge to conventional wisdom, constructivism has grown complacent, even cliched. That ethnicity is constructed is commonplace; this volume provides new insights into how it is constructed. By shifting the analytical focus from identity to identifications, from groups as entities to group-making projects, from shared culture to categorization, from substance to process, Brubaker shows that ethnicity, race, and nation are not things in the world but perspectives on the world: ways of seeing, interpreting, and representing the social world."
